Aperitivo Cicchetti, is an Italian Small Plate, Wine & Cocktail Bar located on Nassau Street, Dublin 2. With a focus on great Italian Food, Italian Wine & Classic Italian Cocktails with a selection of Aperitifs, Negronis & Spritz. We have meticulously picked our Italian Wines & plates, which will be rotating so we can always be offering the best selection.
We chose to offer small plates of the Italian classics as we wanted to allow you to taste & enjoy more! From the traditional Roman dishes Carbonara & Cacio e Pepe to Panzanella from Tuscany & Arancini from Sicily, we wanted to give a good representation of the whole of Italy. The interior of our location hosts an intimate ambience that will make you feel as though you have been transported to an Italian swing joint in the 1950s..
And as always we ask you to… Enjoy Yourself!

*Please note as we are an intimate 20 seater restaurant we cannot take bookings over 6 people or for drinks only. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

    This is a very cosy restaurant with some tasty dishes on the menu and some underwhelming ones. The scamorza fritti were very tasty but the broccoli al forno wasn't great. The waiting staff were very attentive, but they brought us the wrong bruschetta (maybe if they'd written our order down?) The restaurant is classy inside but fairly cramped and you don't have much privacy because you're so close to other diners and staff. Good for a group but not a date.

    Some of the best food we’ve had in a long time, excited to return her already and try the rest of the menu. Service was fantastic, the staff were so lovely and attentive. We really enjoyed our meal here - had gotten quite busy by the time we were leaving but it’s a really lovely spot.

    We really enjoyed our recent visit. The food was delicious and the staff were great - especially the lady serving us (on Sunday evening 23/2). She answered all the questions we had, helped with dietary requirements and was great at explaining the menu to us as it was our first time. The restaurant serves small plates, and they are quite small portions. We did get the calamari for two and were surprised as it was a tiny portion - but very tasty. We shared five plates between two people and we left full. As a pescatarian, my favourite was the stracciatella served with bread and the person I was dining with said the lasagne was great. We enjoyed sharing the fritto miso. There was a €12.21 service charge automatically added to our bill but the service really was excellent, very attentive. We will definitely be back.
